The Egg and I Tried Something New Today

A few months ago I got some pickled quail eggs that were locally produced. They were okay but not as good as I had hoped.

Whenever it's going to be raining in the afternoon, I always get eggs to boil for the outside dogs. Today, I got five dozen as for a couple of weeks I have been toying with the idea to pickle some.

I found a really nice simple little English pub recipe to try. I followed it pretty closely but didn't strain the mixture before adding it to the glass. Being a Colonial, I figured I didn't need the upper crust touch of me lord.

Here's the recipe I used. I'll know in two weeks how it turned out.

British pub pickled eggs

Ingredients
12 hard-boiled eggs
4 cups of malt vinegar
1 finely chopped chili pepper
10 black peppercorns
10 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp of allspice


Method
Peel the hard-boiled eggs, allow them to cool and then place them in a large clean jar.
Heat the vinegar and the spices in a saucepan until the liquid begins to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to about room temperature.
Strain the liquid and pour over the eggs covering them completely.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and store in a cool and dark place for a minimum of two weeks before consuming.

    I just throw them in a huge jar of pickles, and let the pickle juice pickle them. It only takes about 3 or 4 days before they start tasting really good. And the vinegar keeps them from rotting too fast, they'll stay good for about 2 months

    I also slice up some onions to throw in there too. I love pickled eggs and pickled onions.

    After I eat the pickled prawns I make around Christmas, I always toss some hard boiled eggs in the mix. Try poking a few holes in the eggs with a fork and they will infuse with the juice/flavor much faster.

    Makes sense. just don't poke it into the yolk, it would make it mushy
